Yer the benefit of the interest of about twelve miliiom Waters, which the provincia! authorities are to apply fo provincial purposes, Ali parties are broken up on the qmestion excepting ihe extreme left, which bitterly op- [poses any distioction between the eld and new paris of fmo kingdom. Count Bismarck ts strongly in favor of Sho bill, and so :t will, without doubt, be earried whon & comes to a vote, aconsummation likely to be delayed wome time if ali of the epeakers who are yet to hold forth prove as lengthy as those who have opened the bail, Sixty-three gentlemen entered their names on tho Wet of orators, is ts expressly provided in the constitution of the Morih German Bund that no membor of the Reichstag hall reecive compensation for his services, The con- @tituents of one gentleman having presented him with ®@ purse for the purpose of defraying his expenses while Attgading the eitting of the Bund Uoambers, the gevern- mént has entered an action against him, and the ease wit bo brought to trial. mr ‘M. Fassiaud, the Belgian Postmaster General, is here, ‘with two of his chief assistants, to arrange the terms of @ pew postal treaty with the Bund. Negotiations are ‘also being carried on with the Norwegian Post Office De- Partment for a new convention, Hitherto the mail matter from Prussia aad the continent generally has Reached Norway via Copenbagen, but the Norwegians do Bot hike such dependency, aud are anxious for direct eemmunication.

According to the Spenerische Zeitung proposals for a pew naviga'ion and commercial treaty between the Tuitea States and the North Geiman Bund have been made by Mr. Baucroft, During the year 1867 the Prassian army was increased ‘by 740 officers of tho various grades. Of these 425 ‘were Hanoverians, 13 Austrians, 4 Moxicans andla Swiss, Forty-seven vessels, carrying 488 guns, have been Biven by Pragsia to the Bund marine—viz., 8 tron-clad Srigates, 2 monitors, 5 decked corvettes, 4 smooth dock eorvetios, 3 despaich boats and 22 gunboats; all those * are scrow steamers ; of sailing ships, 3 frigates, 3 brigs, a Sansport and a recruiting ship. ‘The Prussian Eagle is tobe docked ot Dauzig’—at which end the paragraph oes not say.

Taking into ac- count the béwovelent object—the relief of the famisb!ng in East Prussia—and the great exertions made by her Majesty ana the nobility to make it @ great suce coes, it was oxpeeted that something like the savitary fair in New York would be brought about; but the managers will have te take a number of lessons before they will show themselves capable of anything. of the kind, The entrance feo for the fret half of the week was to be five groschens, which equals not five dollars, but twenty cents, Twenty cents to loaf about a royal palace, jostie. princes and hob-nob with the King aud Queen; be walted upon by the Countess of Bismarck and other notabilities of the first class, Even this low Price did not seem to attract many visitors, aud It was only attor some venturesome souls found out that the articles gold at the fair were much eheaper than those to be found anywhero olse that the attendance became at all respectable in point of numbers, To-day the price of admiesion bas been raised to a thaler, which acts liko ‘& wet blanket on the altendance, though a ticket is given to a drawing of the articles left unsold. The royal family and the nobility made most of their purchases on Mon- day, and were allowed to tuke away what they bought; 80 many of the most attractive trinkets are no longer to bo seen.

Their Majest os and moss of the princes and princesses retired about two in the morving, but the Princess Friedrick Carl, who is about as fond of being in at the end of dauce as her busbind is of being 10 at the death o! boar, waited to join in that proper finale, the cotillon, and did not leavo will toward five, It would bo a sad thing if tho rumors that Count Bene- detti, she French Ambassador, is lo be recalled should prove trae, He tas lately given a ball which rovaity attended 1m full force, and he has signified the ry bility of several more which eclipse his former attempts at entertaining. rything has ever been gotten up 60 bandsomel, the old-fashioned but spa- cious hotel of the Freach Embassy that the haut ton is on the qui vive for the fuiiilmeat of the promise, One ot the attraciious at Count Benedetti’s last party waa a French piay, 0 of the titled dames have remarked that they did not think it propor that their daughters should witness such a periormance; for the javuinorabi- lity of their own virtue they seem to be well assured, | for none propose to decline future mvitations on account of the danger of the repetition of the offending comody.

This was ata distance of about twenty yards, but none of the shots took effect, The police had a narrow escape, Both men immediately made off, disappearing in the direction of Morrisoo’s Island. The police made an abortive attempt in pursuit, and, although they were assisted sborily altersards by ovvers, failed in getting any trace of the would. asia This auack ed inteuse excitement and is certainly Temarkacle for tao daring wav im whieh it wi formed and for the impuuity with waicu the per; tors, at an bour when many peopio were abroad, aad also notwithstanding the numerous potica patrols who at present guard the streets duty and uigntiy, Un tho following day (wo men, named John Eddie, & stone mason, and Parick O'srien, a boilerwaker, were arrested wuile passing aipng Patrick fled by the police aud Courtenay as at them on the previous night, Afier at the Tuckey street police barracks, wh y were searched by the polics, bat nothing of an implicating nature being found upon them, they were removed for judicial examination to tho ‘poitce oilice, which is Atiacned to the bridewell on the Coal quay.

It wes interrupted, however, yesterday, by the expulsion of a conservative member. 1 call it expuision, though it was done upon the pretext that the gentleman was ineligible, having voted for the ordinance of secession, and previ- ously held office as a clerk, which required him to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. The case was that of Mr. Mauzey, of Culpepper, who was returned from that county by a large majority over John Minor Botts, his opponent, Mr. Mauzey had been pardoned by President Johnson, and thereby re- stored to all his political rights. When elected he received a certificate as a member of the Conven- tion from General Schofield, and has, since the meeting of the body, been in constant attendance, voting upon every question before it. Neverthe- less the Committce en Privileges and Eleetions considered him ineligible, and recommended th following resolution, which was adopted by & atrict party vote :— Resolved, That Fayette Mauzey was, at he timo of hia election, ineligible to a seat in the Convention, and at Le is ot entitled te hold the same, The vote was yeas 50, nays 30, and Mr. Mauzey was ejected. It is not believed that Mr. Botts will now claim the seat, as it would be neither pleasant nor profitable so late in the session. Mr. Liggat (conservative) then resumed his re- marks upon suffrage, as that was next in order, He was opposed to the enfranchisement of the negroes upon every principle of right, liberty and justice. The measure wis an outrage upon the constitusion of the United States, and subversive of all liborties and perogatives of the States, Black suffrage was but a political mapping stone for the radical party, by which they endeavored to maintain their power, now decidedly on the wane. This was amply demonstrited by Mr. Hunnicutt, who suid the protection of negroes was required by loyal white voters. He inquired of the sable members, Do the radicals ask you to their tables? Not a bit (s9ble member). 0 they ask you to take their daugh- ters to church? Yes (Kelso, the African who was onthe Grant committec), Are you admitted to parlors when appointed by this honorable Conven- tion to wait upon General Grant, by the ladies? This made Mr. Kelao very indignant, and he s9id, “T was not turned out of the parlor.’ ‘No, because you were not let in.” The radicals urged as an excuse for the flagrant unconstitutionality of the Reconstruction acts that Virginia was not a ‘tate. It so, how was the them Vresident of this Convention a United tes Senator of Virginia, using the franking privilege and sending docu- ments from this Convention all over the coun- try for every radical member who solicited that favor? He was a political clown and an exempl fication of an acrobat. If Virginia was a State, how did he, the President, act as a judge and Senator at the same time? If State, he (Underwood) was guilty of hich crimes and misdemeanors, and should h od, tried and convicted. He used the fra ¢ privilege as a Senator while assuming the State he represented was nota State, Mr, Clements (radieal) followed in a very good argument in favor of negro suf- frage, which wos elaborated at considerable length in a written speech, from which he read. e urged no disfranchisément beyond what was already done by the Reconstraction acts, and made some points that will be replied to by Mr. Gibson, Asshe hour was late Mr. Clement's remarks could not well be given, To day Mr. Gibson obtained the floor and occu- pied it nearly two hours. He claimed Virginia was a State, so recognized hy the President of this ting it as a Senator and using the franking pi ed by Con- gress in supmitiing to it for rati on an amend- meut of the constitution; and recognized also by Congress in the Reconstruetion acts, inasmuch as the States were allowed to say whether they thould call conventions or not. He contended ne- groes were not citizens under the constitution of the United States; they had not come here as for- eigners and become naturalized: they had been held in bondage potil Abraham Lincoln office, signed the e Convention in rep less of his oath roc'amation: théy were here to-day as cilize: without the shadow ofaright. They were fitted neither by intellectual, educations! nor moral at- tainments for suflrave. Since they were first d covered by Northern slave traders eating each oihers on the shores of Africa they had not improved one iota.

While other and less pyeeentious localities in the South BAS bddd inecs iv soaocable end Cry ronae. lanes ReVer to-ve-iergoten by the oveuie $6 a bie | mage war, this village has remained in profound obscu- rity, The tread of hostile armies bas spared it from desolation, and, except in the gen- erally seedy appearance ef the inhabit- ants, the tourist would never perceive the slightest sign of warfare about it. Griffin is situated on the railroad rnnuing from Atlanta to Macon, and is a pleasant little town ef about four thousand inhabitants. As in all emall places in this section of the cbuntry, the few streets it boasts of arevery wide, and on one of thei is all the business done. The county in which the vil- lage is located (Spalding) is ene of the richest and healthiest inthe State, the people here belonging to what was formerly known as the “ s!aveholding aristocracy.” Asa natural result, they are, a9 a general thing, quite intelligent and hospitable, and hold a very high social position. ‘The first and most natural question of travellers in the South relates to politics, and that question 1 frequently propounded to divers individuals. In this village nobody cares anything about political principles, The struggle for office and power be- tween democrats and republicans im the North is thought nothing of here, or regarded with the ut- most indifference. On one port, however, the whites are almost unanimously determined and in- terested. That pointis universal sufrage. Tell them that Grant will be our mext President or that he will not and a shrug of the shoulder is the only response given, Bat just hint that they will have tosubmit to universal negro suffrage and their eyes flash with indignation. Then yeu ebtain a reply, and it is that their submission will last just 80 long as soldiers garrisom every part of the country. Let them be removed and the negro must be the better man if he exercises his newly bestowed privilege, Beyond this single political uestion the people are utterly indifferent. When the war first ended they were interested and to some extent enthusiastic ; but since the recon- struction laws were passed and negro suffrage forced upon them everything has been a blank, so far as politics are concerned. It is true there is # democratic club here, onthe roll of which nearly every white man in the county has affixed his name, but even it fails to be accntre of attrac. tion. The news of the Johnson-Stanton imbrog!: and the passage of the impeachment resolutions were received with surprise, but beyond that no interest was manifested. This indifference seems irksome after leaving Atlanta, with her Conven- tion and political sensations. You feel that there is something wanting in a people who care nothing for the welfare of the government under which they live. While it is true that the Griffinites eschew poli- tics, it must not be supposed that they view the attempt of Congress to negroize the State with even calmness, The feeling in this respect fs fierce, bitter and Ga atmanineg 4 hostile to the radical po icy. Men who were Unionists through- out the war are the most intense opponents of the measure. I have spoken to-day to not fewer than fifty men and, with but a single exception, all were united in declaring that under no circum- stunces whatever will they ever acquiesce in the policy of negro suffrage. It may be torced upon them now, they say, but the day will come when the North will perceive that the whites of the South would have been better and trastier allies thon *ahe blacks, and a that day the North will bitterly regret “her present con- duct,. Of course there is covert threat lurking beneath such remarks; but it can mean anything or nothing, The singic radical that I met with up here is a Yankee, and he edits a little apology of a weekly newspaper, culled the Ameri- can Uaion. -He is continually declaring that loyal” men are not safe in the county; that the rebels endanger their lives, &c. But despite these harges he weekly abuses the great mass of simply because they happen not to agree with him in polities. And these @are the very men, by the way, who are doing most to em- bitter the people against the government. When you hear of Mr. So-and-So, of Georgia, being a “traly loyal’’—i, e., radical—man, set him down p; for since I have been South I have not seen or heard of one of this class without his having a decidedly bad character. And yet these are the men who will hold the various offices in the State should the Congressional plan succeed, In the foregoing nothing has been said about our “colored fellow citizens.” With deep regret it must be recorded that nothing favorable can be written of them. Politically, they sre quiet at present, but socially they are mere active than ever, The negroes have certain failings which are juherent in their natures. A hog pen, chicken roost, cora crib and family store house alike de- velop and make practical a most decided weak- ness of theirs, Itis not then, to be wendered at that the roasters, corn, chickens and other pro- perty of the farmers disappear nightly in the most mysterious manner imaginable. ,* defuulters,"? abstractors,” or anything else, to be police are frequeutly discovered, and they invariably prove to be sable citizena, The meanest robbery thatl have heard of js that of a farmer in this vicinity. He employed a number of bands, furnisted them with stock, agrienttura} instruments and other neces- saries fora farm and agreed to give each man one-half of what he made. When the crops were gathered last fall it amounted in food and cotten to two thousand bushels of corn, forty bales of cotton,a large quantity of oats and peas aud several stacks of fodder, Strictly complying with hii contract, the planter divided the proceeds in tw: parts and gave one of them to the ni groes, wii they pretty soon sold. As the plan under his agreement, was compelled to ferd the stock, he placed bis corn in the ert, intending to use it for feeding the mules and oxen during the present year. One night a short time ago he heard some one in the crib, and eatehing be his ehot-gun left the house and proceeded towards it. He arrived bee intime tocatch one of his own hands well jaden with the corn, and upon examining the crib it was ascertained that not three hundred of the were remaining. Of one thousand bushels his freedinen had taken it all. evening I succceded in indncing an old countryman to enter into a polities! discnssion ith me. He declared emphatically that he the-country was going to the devil. The of the North were all crazy, and some of se days ra would wake up and find a dic ruling them. For his own part, he didn dash what became of the country. He hi rained by the war, had lost bis two sons, and now he felt no further interest in the government, As I rose to leave the old man be shook my baad, and his eyes moistened as he - “You are from the North, bat won't you admit that itis pretty hard for me to Jove a government that is trying to degrade me? no: Tean’t do it; for my poor b ’ gr in front of my house, and I look upon them every day.” There was a pathos in the old man qnare, 2 mournful earnestness in his tone that touched an! saddened me, Jt was the impres-ible moan of @ heart tnat hed lost everything worth living or hoping for.

From Washington to Atlanta, excepting those of the State road only, the cars are most wretched apologies for vehieles of transportation, although the various reflroad companies are not backward in charging just what they please, 1 have, however, at length discovered ono rond in Georgia on which @ person can travel without having his garments filled with vermin that have been accumulatihg there since the outbreak of the rebellion, As my fare was duly paid I can, with- out g suspected of having been “dead head,” give just praise to tho Macon and Western Tmilroad. Having thus concluded @ moderate panegyric of the road it will be ‘well to tuen to the good city of Macon, This place, though not famous as the site of agreat battle during the rebellion, was ren- dered memorable by General Stoneman’s attack upon it during the summer of 1864, and just prior to the capture of that officer and his command by the rebel cavalry. It is a pretty little town of some fifteen thousand inhabitants, and is noted for Political Ac breziio and Impe of The hore Negroes. h ». its very wide and muddy strects and for its very, hot weather during the summer, A certain citi- zen confidentially stated that it was extremely doubtful if the realm of his Satanic majesty was mueh warmer daring the months of July and Au- gust than it was here. In winter, however, wh itis not raining, the weather is delightfully mil ond here can be seen some of that sunny South so “ poate about. ‘acon ip the } headquarters of the Georgia de je netivity and interest in was to informed b; secretary ‘of the Centr a Bammtttnn that neannritiog, gare boing re radicals so soon as the Reconstruction Convention has closed its labors, As was mentioned in @ former letter, the passive polioy of the Alabama couservatives will not be pursued here. A square, open fight will be made—first, to defeat the con> stitution being passed, and, failing that, to elect @ democratic State government, That success will attend their efforts in this last par+ ticular the conservatives appear to feel certaia of, although they confess to some doubts about defeating the coustiiution. Supposing, then, that a democratic Legisiature is elected aud two Seuators of that party are sent to Washington, will they be admitted to thoir seats? Besides, will @ democratic Legislature ratify the fourteenth amendment to the constitution? These are dif culties in the way; but the opponents of radicals ism elaim that it makes no dittre ce whether the State is admitted to representation or not, go long as they can prevent the negroes from yetting pow session of it, To achieve victory the Central Com- mittee is working vigorously, and a large number of political paraphlets have been printed and are now ready for circulation throughout the State, Whoever may be the democratic candidate for the Presidency will be well supported and will proba. bly obiain the electoral vete of Georgia. The course pursued by ex-Governor Brown in supporting thg reconstruetion laws of Congre: has made the people of this section bitterly hos- tile to him, aud no man is mere denounced and abused than he His enemies cannot under- stand how the fire-cating secessioniat of yesterday can becoine the universal negro suifrage advocate of to-day, and a8 these political somersaults cans not be comprehended denunciation is heartily and abuudantly indulgedia, Ex-Congrea:man Gartrell has latterly come in for & share of the abuse, but he is not thought so mach of as Mr. Brown. Rene- gade, traitor to his race, apostate and demagogue are about the mildest expressiens one heara leveHed-at the ex-Governor, and if that honorable entieman could hear them, and if words could ill, he would have been long ago beyond the hope of present resurrection, In all of the principal eentres of population in Georgia the people feel an interest in the political situation of the North, and this city ia no excepe tion to the general rule. Everybody talks about the recent Johnson-Stanton imbreglio, and every: bedy wenders how it will end. The passage of the impeachment resolutions ¢reated lively sensation, and if the President aad Congress should come to blows the male portion of the Maconites stand provera’ te back him to tho extent of their ability and valor. It must be con- tessed, however, that the prospect of another war is quite distasteful here, aud the men will only participate in it if they become thoroughly convinced that their aid is absolutely essential to the censervative belligerent. Your readers may think it strange that the Southerners should begin to talk of another war so soon after the suppression of tho rebellion, but pay feeling bas run so high in the =] uring the past two years that everybody mother revolution imminent, Thus the ood citizens of this city, inthe present prostra- jon of business, gather at the corners of the streets, or in the siit ng reoms of hotels, and dis- cuss the probabilities of the near future, This eveuing, however, there was one man who gat near the stove and listened quietly aud thought- fully to the animated political discussion going on, but who effered no opigion and never once joined in the conversation. He was evidently a deeply interested hearer of what wus being said, for at length he rose from his seat and said:— “Gentlemen, does you think that this difficulty will aflect the price of cotton?” Alas, for the country with such a patriot! Here was a man not pondering over the damages to liberty, to the constitution or to universal suilrage, but actually dreading lest political agitation should injure his pockets, The cotton holder (or owner) vas comforted with the arsurance that it could only teud to run up the price of the great staple, iearing which he resumed his seat and former indiiference, Robberies by negroes are @# numerous here as anything of the kind can possibly be. Spauldin, county was bad enough, but Libb (this county), with her large nigger popubation, is far ahead.* The newspapers are filled with accounts of depre- dations on farms and city residences. Sometimes the tuieves are caught, but more frequently the ubiquitous pegrocs escape with their booty. THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMMERCLAL BUREAU.
